朝鲜古典小说《兔子传》原型故事略考

A Tentative Study on the Prototype of Classical Fiction Rabbit Story

朝鲜《兔子传》的原型故事与佛经故事具有同一性,从印度故事到朝鲜《兔子传》的诸阶段中,人们可以看到佛经故事在传播过程中产生了许多变异,原来简单的动物寓言演变成了情节完整的民间故事。而在中国和朝鲜,这个民间故事又进一步改编成了小说。

The prototype of Korean fiction Rabbit Story could be identified in a story in Buddhist Scripture. There were several variations in the diffusion of the Indian story. The prototype changed from a simple animal fable to a complete folk story. Furthermore, the complete folk story was revised into a fiction in China and Korea.
